Marie Hecker -Elisabeth - From Eastern Europe [CD]
The Hecker Helmchen duo is renowned for the high standard of their performances, which is reflected in their recordings. The German cellist Marie-Elisabeth Hecker caused a sensation by winning both the First Prize and two Special Prizes at the eighth Rostropovich Competition twenty years ago, whilst Martin Helmchen has also been performing on the most prestigious international stages for two decades. They are partners both on and off the concert platform and are passionate advocates of chamber music. This anthology of Russian music for cello and piano is a journey through the most beautiful and intense pieces of the 20th century and will undoubtedly find a special place in the discography.
